Enjoy 20 NEW Channels, Free-to-Air!

Introducing the all new “SEE-digit-all” C-band African broadcasting service with two new digital TV bouquets at 30.5° East (Arabsat-2B).

To satisfy the large demand expressed by its African viewers, Arabsat is now broadcasting 20 new Free-to-Air TV channels over a large part of Africa.
 
 
And many more to come…
The launch of these first two bouquets towards the African continent constitutes Arabsat’s initial step of an ambitious commitment to provide its African audience with the largest possible choice of Free-To-Air TV channels over Africa.

Many more channels will complement these as early as the second half of 2009 with the launch of Arabsat-5A, its newest satellite at 30.5°East equipped with an innovative powerful C-band beam reaching 100% of the African continent households.
